The Monroe Woodbury Central School District prides itself on fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect for all cultures. However, the school calendar currently does not recognize two significant Islamic holidays - Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These holidays are observed by millions of Muslims across the globe, including a substantial number within our own community.

Inclusion of these holidays in our school calendar would reflect our district’s commitment to cultural diversity. It would also ensure that students observing these holidays do not have to choose between their education and their religious observance.

We urge the Monroe Woodbury Central School District to add both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to its official school calendar starting from next academic year onwards. This change will demonstrate respect for religious diversity while ensuring equal educational opportunities for all students regardless of their faith background.

Please sign this petition if you believe in promoting cultural inclusivity within our schools.
